5Very informative tour and...
Very informative tour and amazing guide! We learned so much about the history of the city, politics, religion, and culture. Polina gave us lots of great tips and gave a great overview to get us started on more in depth tours and activities for the rest of our trip.
5Fabulous Tour
If you are looking for a tour of Sofia then look no further we can't recommend the tour and especially our guide, Pavlina enough. We were picked up at our hotel and walked for 3 hours around Sofia (you dont walk great distances) enjoying the key sights which included the St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, St. Sofia Church, St. Nikolas Russian Church, City Garden, Ivan Vazov Theatre along with several others. Pavlina, our guide, was excellent - so knowledgable but also shared many personal experiences of her life growing up in Sofia which really gave us an incredible insight into the culture and challenges that those living in the City have faced over the previous 40 - 50 years so a massive thank you to her. The tour was definitely the highlight of our weekend and we learnt so much and we felt was great value.

About Sofia
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.
Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.
Top-ranked sights in Sofia: Rila Monastery, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Ivan Vazov National Theatre.
